Couplet:
A pair of successive rhyming lines, usually of the same length, termed "closed" when they form
a bounded grammatical unit like a sentence, and termed "heroic" in 17th- and 18th-century verse
when serious in subject, five-foot iambic in form, and holding a complete thought.
For this exercise lets take a foot as meaning two syllables.
The exercise consists of writing half a couplet (see above for couplet) that is connected to the couplet before it, and posting the finished article in a post that contains both yours and the preceding couplets.
No feedback will be given except to keep the thing on track. Please make sure the lines of each couplet
have a different sounding end rhyme than the preceding couplet and contains ten syllables per line. (in modern language).
The idea for this one came from Touchstone.
